Our focus

Learning

Freedom

The learning environment is based on what each child needs, rather than what is required by standard curriculum. There is freedom of choice.

Experience

Montessori provides experiences for students to learn and explore their interests with activities that engage their minds and their bodies.

Family

Montessori teachers believe that the child’s first teacher is their parent.

OUR MISSION, OUR PASSION

YOUR SECOND HOME

Give your child the opportunity to start here-where their world is their playground.

New Horizons a Montessori School was established in 1984 in Vallejo California. For more than 30 years, our humble school has been serving children ages 2 to 6 years old in a safe and nurturing environment.

At New Horizons a Montessori School our primary aim is to assist in the development of a child's whole personality. This includes, but is not limited to, their social, intellectual, emotional, environmental, and physical personality. This allows the child to be better prepared to adapt to life and the changing conditions of their world.

Our goal as educators is to see that your child has a safe place to learn, grow, experience, and explore their world so that they may better understand and positively interact with their ever-changing environment. The activities we provide will help develop a positive self-concept within each child. Thus building a foundation of a positive attitude towards learning, the environment, people, cultures, and the world around them.

Encourage your child and their love of learning will grow.

Exploration

Learning happens in and out of the classroom.

Appreciation Board

“I have two children that have attended New Horizons Pre-school and they both absolutely loved it there. While I was in search of a daycare provider, I was looking for a family oriented facility that my children would adapt well to. I couldn’t have asked for a better “second family”. My children were welcomed with open arms and were made to feel a part of things from the very beginning. Teachers and staff members are not only nurturing and compassionate, but they truly do enjoy what they do. Thank you New Horizons for your participation in guiding and molding my children for their future.”

“At New Horizons they have wonderful teachers in a loving environment for kids, my son has learned proper language, mathematics, culture, sensorial, geography, music, and dance all through a discovery creative hands on experience. I would recommend New Horizons school to any parent.”

New Horizons Montessori school is wonderful! Our oldest son has been in attendance for 2 years now and has thrived at this school. He has learned so much and made so many great friends. He adores the teachers and is so excited to be there each day, learning something new. They do incredible art projects and have fantastic parties all while learning using the highly effective Montessori teaching method. We are sad our oldest son is leaving New Horizons to begin Elementary school this fall. We know he is leaving with an abundance of knowledge and a passion for learning thanks to the teachers at New Horizons. We are also lucky to have our youngest still in attendance there, following in his big brothers footsteps!
